Jackie Kennedy Onassis: an Icon for the Ages by Shelby Ostergaard 2018 Name: Class: Jackie Kennedy Onassis: An Icon for the Ages By Shelby Ostergaard 2018 Jackie Kennedy Onassis (1929-1994) was the former First Lady of the United States. She was married to John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, who was assassinated in 1963. In this informational text, Shelby Ostergaard discusses Jackie’s life and time as First Lady. As you read, take notes on Jackie’s relationship with the media and the public. [1] She had been dubbed “the most intriguing woman in the world,” but just who was Jackie Kennedy Onassis? Socialite?1 Book editor? First Lady? Patron? She was all of these things and more. She was a style icon and, as the wife to President John F. Kennedy, she was the first First Lady to become a bonafide2 celebrity. If the Kennedy dynasty was the closest thing to a royal family that the American public ever had, then Jackie Kennedy was its queen and media darling. Nearly every move Jackie made was subject to intense media scrutiny. Even now, almost twenty- five years after her death, there still is a public "Jackie Kennedy by Toni Frissell, 1957" by trialsanderrors is licensed under CC BY 2.0 fascination with her. Early Life Jackie Kennedy Onassis was born Jacqueline Lee Bouvier in Southampton, New York, on July 28, 1929. Her father was a wealthy Wall Street stockbroker, and her mother was a well-respected socialite. As a teenager, Jackie was an accomplished equestrian,3an enthusiastic reader and a classical ballerina. When she debuted4 in Manhattan, she was considered one of the most promising debutantes5 of the season. In 1947, she graduated from Miss Porter's School, a prestigious boarding school in Connecticut. She went on to continue her education at Vassar College in New York. She spent her junior year in Paris but would later transfer to the George Washington University in Washington, D.C., in order to be closer to her stepfather’s Virginia estate. Jackie was popular in both New York and Washington high society. 1. a person well-known in upper class society 2. genuine; real 3. a rider or performer on horseback 4. to make a formal entrance into society 5. an upper-class young woman making her first appearance into society 1 Jack and Jackie In May of 1952, Jackie was formally introduced to U.S. Representative John F. Kennedy — known by those close to him as “Jack” — at a dinner party. He had charm, wit, good looks, wealth, and political aspirations. She had intelligence, beauty, grace, and social connections. They both had an Irish-Catholic heritage, a love of letters, and a desire for a more exciting life than what suburbia promised. Their September 1953 wedding was the social event of the season. After the wedding, the couple settled into life in Washington, D.C. Jackie remained a prominent socialite, often having her photo taken at some of the most lavish high-society parties. Almost every aspect of the couples’ life was played out in the public eye. John F. Kennedy was portrayed as the handsome, rising politician, while Jackie was depicted as the beautiful, sophisticated socialite. Their first daughter, Caroline Kennedy, was born in 1957, and the couple posed with the newborn on the cover of Life magazine, a hugely popular publication at the time. [5] On the surface, they were seen as the perfect family. In reality, they had their challenges. The couple spent a lot of time apart. John F. Kennedy suffered from Addison's disease6and was always in great pain. Jackie had previously suffered a miscarriage and a stillbirth. Despite their struggles, the picturesque portrait of the family persisted in the public's mind, and John F. Kennedy became a very popular politician. Encouraged by this popularity, Kennedy announced his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States on January 3, 1960. As First Lady John F. Kennedy was sworn into office as President of the United States in January 1961. In her role as First Lady, Jackie quickly became a trendsetter. She was the first presidential wife to hire a press secretary,7 and she carefully cultivated8 her relationship with the press and media. This carefully constructed image often gave the public impression that she was the ideal woman. She dedicated much of her time to being a patron to the arts and hosted many social events, bringing politicians and artists together. Her time as the First Lady is also known for the restoration of the White House. She redesigned many rooms and replaced its furniture. She also oversaw the replanting of the White House Rose Garden. Before she became First Lady, the furnishing in the White House rooms held little historical significance. She tracked down many historical pieces and founded the Committee for the Preservation of the White House. The historical and museum aesthetic that the White House has today is a result of her efforts. 6. a disorder in which the glands above your kidneys don’t produce enough hormones, resulting in various health problems 7. a person responsible for press and public relations for an important public figure 8. to develop something through careful attention 2 Style Icon As First Lady, Jackie was often both applauded and criticized for the way she dressed. On the one hand, she was stylish and praised for her iconic outfits — which included bright colors and pillbox hats. Going to state dinners and political events, she often looked like she could have stepped out of Vogue magazine. On the other hand, as much as Americans loved their young First Lady, there were many columns inches that questioned whether she dressed “appropriately.” Jackie’s clothes would have been considered completely appropriate for a stylish young European woman, but they defied the convention of what a good American wife should be wearing in the 1960s. Tragedy As majestic as Jackie Kennedy's life seemed, it was also full of tragedy. In addition to the miscarriage she suffered and the birth of a stillborn child, she endured the death of another infant son, Patrick, while in the White House. [10] Then, on November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. This occurred as the two of them rode in an open car in a presidential motorcade.9 The assassination was captured on video and broadcasted across the country. There were many photos of a bloodsoaked Jackie Kennedy desperately trying to aid her wounded husband. Jackie had faced harsh public criticism on how she handled her grief as First Lady while mourning the loss of Patrick, but she was roundly praised by the media for how she handled the loss of her husband. Jackie believed she had a duty to all Americans grieving the loss of their President. She planned a state funeral for her husband; it was modeled after Abraham Lincoln's service and featured a closed casket. She led the procession and lit the eternal flame.10 She gave an interview to Life magazine just a week after her husband’s death. In this famous interview, she compared her husband's years in the White House to King Arthur's mythical Camelot. Because of her, President Kennedy’s administration is often referred to as the "Camelot Era." No Longer First Lady Jackie received hundreds of thousands of condolence letters from Americans. A year after President Kennedy’s assassination, she moved to New York with her children. She found solace with her brother- in-law, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, who had remained close to her and her children during those difficult years. She encouraged him to run for President in 1968, gave her public support, and even campaigned for him. But that same year, on June 6, he too was fatally shot. Jackie fell into a depression and expressed concern for her life and the lives of her children. “If they're killing Kennedys,” she said, “then my children are targets. I want to get out of this country.” In October of 1968, four months after Robert Kennedy's death, Jackie married Aristotle Onassis, a longtime friend of hers and a wealthy Greek shipping magnate. Like many of her decisions, this was harshly criticized. She took the legal name Jackie Onassis; the press derisively11 called her “Jackie O.” During their marriage, the couple lived in both Europe and the United States. Jackie remained close with the Kennedy family, especially Ted Kennedy, President Kennedy's younger brother. 9. a parade of cars 10. a flame that is kept burning to symbolize that something will never end 3 She lived a very full life, working as a book editor at Viking Press and Doubleday after her second husband’s death in 1975. She had a hand in several popular books at the time, such as Michael Jackson autobiography Moonwalk, The Cartoon History of the Universe, and the translation of Cairo Trilogy. She was working as a senior editor when, in 1993, she was thrown from a horse and taken to a hospital. While she was being examined, doctors realized that she had lymphoma. The cancer spread, and she died in her sleep on May 19, 1994. Legacy [15] Today, female political figures, from Michele Bachmann to Michelle Obama, often have their fashion decisions heavily scrutinized. The 1960s had begun to usher in a new era of televised culture, and Jackie Kennedy was the First Lady to experience media scrutiny on a scale never witnessed before. Jackie Kennedy captivated the nation with her charm and style, and she carefully cultivated a public image for herself and her family.

  • Your Name Here
    JACKIE KENNEDY’S PRESIDENTIAL PERSONA: (RE)ASSESSING HER RHETORICAL INFLUENCE by COURTNEY ALEXSIS CAUDLE (Under the Direction of Edward Panetta) ABSTRACT In rhetorical studies, much has been written on the role of first lady and the women whom enacted this position. Scholars in several fields (history, rhetoric, popular culture) have examined First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy: however, this thesis supplements existing research both in first lady scholarship generally and on Jackie’s specific performance as first lady. I contend that Jackie’s performance remains unique because she carved a celebrity space both inimitable in the 1960s yet available to subsequent first ladies. I examine mediated texts (both visual and written) from 1961-1963 to (re)examine her enactment of the role during (1) President Kennedy’s Inauguration, (2) her televised tour of the White House, and (3) President Kennedy’s funeral. Ultimately, I argue she was integral to historical and contemporary public memory of his presidential persona and legacy.

  • The Shadow of the Scorpion Now, After the Death of My Second
    The Shadow of the Scorpion Now, after the death of my second husband Aristotle Onassis, I am left alone on the Greek island of Skorpios which until recently was the private property of my late husband. And the future of the island seems to me to be about as certain as my own. I am reasonably well off so in mentioning an uncertain future I don’t mean financial problems, but rather psychological ones. My state of mind has been bothering me lately, which is not surprising for a widow whose children have grown up. I am after all reaching that difficult age for a woman when various fears and unwanted memories can suddenly become obsessive and even take on a kind of hallucinatory weirdness. I have almost resigned myself to the fact that I am suffering from hallucinations, but admitting this to myself is not easy. I often think of the Greek priests and the sweet smelling wafts of incense in the local churches (I took a deep breath of it at my husband’s funeral service, which is still there, stuck in my nostrils) and yet, like a true American, I have decided to share my psychological problems not with the bearded priests, but with the smooth-shaven psychotherapists. As such, to say I am alone on the island isn’t absolutely true – with me here are Doctor Mitchell and Doctor Abraham. They are without doubt highly qualified professionals (which is reflected in the amounts I have to transfer into their accounts in return for the professional sympathy of these gentlemen) and, as Mitchell keeps telling me, my condition is gradually getting back to normal.

  • JACQUELINE KENNEDY and the POLITICS of POPULARITY by COURTNEY CAUDLE TRAVERS DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of Th
    JACQUELINE KENNEDY AND THE POLITICS OF POPULARITY BY COURTNEY CAUDLE TRAVERS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communication in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor John Murphy, Chair Associate Professor Cara Finnegan Associate Professor Ned O’Gorman Associate Professor Jennifer Greenhill Associate Professor Pat Gill Abstract Although her role as first lady marked the real beginning of the American public’s fascination with her, Jacqueline Kennedy’s celebrity status endured throughout her life. Dozens of books have sought to chronicle that mystique, hail her style, and commend her contribution to the youthful persona of the Kennedy administration. She seems to be an object ripe for rhetorical study; yet, for many communication scholars, Kennedy’s cultural iconicity diminishes her legacy as First Lady, and she remains an exemplar of political passivity. Her influence on the American public’s cultural and political imagination, however, demonstrates a need for scholars to assess with greater depth her development from First Lady to American icon in the early 1960s. Thus, this dissertation focuses on three case studies that analyze Jacqueline Kennedy’s image across different media: fashion spreads in Vogue magazine and Harper’s Bazaar published immediately after the inauguration in 1961; her televised tour of the White House broadcast in February 1962; and Andy Warhol’s 1964 Jackie prints, which drew from her construction of the Camelot myth after JFK’s funeral. These case studies seek to show how “icon” becomes an inventional and conceptual resource for the role of a modern first lady and how Kennedy’s shift to public icon in her own right (after and outside of her position as first lady) was mediated in nuanced ways that both reflected early Cold War (suburban) culture and shaped the larger institutional discourses of which she was part.
